Unexpected and unforgettable are two words that describe this past year. 2021 will be remembered as unique. We know it’s been challenging, and you and your classmates have stepped up during these extraordinary times. Your courage, patience, and ability to roll with ever-changing rules and attitudes will serve you well in the years to come.
Let’s take a moment to shine a spotlight on you and share stories about some of your fellow classmates. If you’d like to see yourself highlighted in future CU Nursing news vehicles, contact [email protected].
Graduation information for Saturday, December 18th.

These stories and more highlight some of our August and December 2021 graduates. Take a moment to be inspired.
